Thank you, Lisa, for this article. Why hasn't it been done by the MSM, one wonders. I think, however, the matter of the CIA's stonewalling of court orders to release records on George Joannides should be another element of the current interest in CIA misdeeds, and should be raised again as part of the current dialog. Should those records ever be released, they will no doubt disclose that lying has been a continual element of the CIA's history.

Thanks, TOG and George. This is an article I've wanted to write for some time. I wish I could make the Pike Report required reading for all Americans. That and Carl Bernstein's article, cited within, give people a small glimpse of the vast empire created through this tiny arm of intelligence. Imagine what the far larger NSA and other agencies do that we never hear about.
